"Your Majesty..." Mr. Li was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
The others also looked at each other in confusion after reading it one after another. The reason why their family members are emotionally involved here is that their daily offerings of sesame oil and money have become a problem.
Whether they were cooperating with the Song Dynasty in the court, and whether there was any evil behind the contribution of the sesame oil money, they must know it well. Because they knew it in their hearts, they were sure that Shao Pingbo was avenging his private revenge.
It is even suspected that this was what His Majesty himself ordered Shao Pingbo to do, and he was taking the opportunity to punish them for joining forces to force the emperor to conceive!
But when it comes to this kind of thing, they also produced supporting evidence and took your family away to interrogate what happened. Is it wrong?
How dare your son stand in the way of an investigation involving suspected collaboration with the enemy and treason? What's wrong with not giving you a chance to delay the confession and kill him decisively? As long as he can explain it afterwards, Blackwater Tower has the power in this regard!
The problem now is, whether it’s money for sesame oil or not, when it comes to this kind of thing, no one can say that it doesn’t need to be investigated!
Several people were suddenly speechless, realizing that their previous sins of kneeling and begging outside were in vain!
Several people never dreamed that Shao Pingbo would use sesame oil money as an entry point to fight back!
Taishu Feihua, who was watching, saw it. The arrogance of several ministers was instantly extinguished. They were obviously guilty and unreasonable. They didn't know what the emperor had smashed for them. He rolled up his sleeves and was swept away by his magic power.
All the confessions were collected into his hands and he began to examine them personally.
Tai Shuxiong laughed and said: "Usually when the country is in financial difficulty and the hungry people are living on the streets of the capital, I ask you to think of a way or do a good deed. Everyone calls the family poor and is only willing to squeeze out a small amount of money to show off. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes?
, the money given to the temple by a random family member in each family can amount to tens of thousands in a year, what are your intentions?"
Lord Gong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the imperial court. Do you really suspect that I am a spy working with the enemy?"
Tai Shuxiong waved his finger again and rebuked angrily, "It is precisely because King Gu trusts you that you can still defend yourself here. Otherwise, these evidences would be enough to take you both to trial! In order to prevent Chao Gang from being shaken,
The Lone King has given you enough face. Now that your family members are involved in this matter, is it not even possible to interrogate whether your family members are innocent or not? If the leader had not come forward, the Lone King would not want to see you at all, but you actually have the nerve to let the Lone King order your release.
People, what else do you want to do?"
No matter what the truth is here, a few people are really powerless to defend themselves.
Lord Xue of the Shaofu raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, all ministries and government offices enforce the law in accordance with the law. The imperial court has its own laws and regulations. When common people commit crimes and officials and family members commit crimes, they have their own corresponding government agencies to investigate and deal with them. Even if they are guilty, they should be handed over to the corresponding deployment to investigate and deal with them. Blackwater Tower
It is the intelligence agency of the Jin State. How can it interfere with normal laws at will? If the military intervenes in civilian cases without authorization to arrest people, and the local government breaks into the military camp to arrest people for trial, wouldn't it lead to chaos in the world? I sincerely request that the suspects involved in the case be handed over to the police.
Make corresponding arrangements to investigate and deal with it clearly!"
His purpose is very simple, first get the person out of the hands of Black Water Tower, otherwise the family members will not know how much suffering they will suffer in the black prison.
The punishments in the black prison run by Black Water Tower are often used to deal with foreign enemies. The severity, cruelty and terror of the punishments are unmatched by other prisons.
Others also understood, and they all raised their hands and said: "I second my opinion, please your Majesty to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of the court!"
Mr. Zhao also took the initiative to get up and returned to his seat. Everyone agreed. He knew that it was useless to kneel down and beg or cry anymore.
When this was mentioned, Tai Shuxiong became angry again, waving his fingers and angrily saying, "I don't know how many of the officials in the court are your disciples, or you are in charge of the corresponding government offices. Why do you want the lonely king to hand over your family members to yourselves?"
Can't come to trial? Do you know what it means to avoid suspicion?"
One sentence made everyone speechless again.
Uncle Feihua took a brief look at the confession in his hand, his face darkened, and he glanced at the seven people coldly.
The seven of them knew that their family members were merely donating money for sesame oil, and that they had not committed any shady acts of collaborating with the enemy or treason behind the scenes. They also knew that their forced marriage in court was only aimed at Shao Pingbo, who did not cooperate with Jia Wuqun.
But only they knew it in their own hearts, but Taishu Feihua didn't know what was going on behind these well-dressed people. At least the clues in the confessions in their hands were indeed suspicious. In addition, these people were in high positions, and if something changed, the consequences would be disastrous!
Tai Shuxiong noticed it and immediately raised his hands to him and said: "Master, in your opinion, how to investigate and handle this matter? Whether to investigate or not, the lonely king depends entirely on the master's orders!"
Uncle Feihua's mouth came out with a cold word, "Check!"
"Yes!" Tai Shuxiong accepted the order.
Taishu Feihua said to several people again: "What your Majesty said is correct. It is reasonable and reasonable. It is indeed inappropriate for you to investigate your family members yourself. You should avoid suspicion. My lords, the pure will become pure themselves, and the dirty will become dirty.
, there is no ghost in my heart, it doesn’t hurt to check it out, what do you think?”
The seven people secretly groaned in their hearts. You old man probably still doesn’t know what is going on in the black prison. Is the black prison a place where things are done according to the law? It is a place where the court cannot intervene by any means necessary!
But the seven of them had trouble saying anything. Facing this person who had already spoken, they did not dare to say anything more. They all raised their hands and said, "Yes!"
Uncle Feihua: "It's late. You've been kneeling for a long time and you're all tired. That's it. Let's all go back and rest."
"Yes!" The seven people accepted the order, and then raised their hands to Tai Shuxiong and said: "I'll leave!"
After a few people left, Taishu Feihua extended his hand, and Tao Lue immediately came over to take the confessions before retreating.
Taishu Feihua turned to Taishuxiong and said: "Since you know what you are doing, then act accordingly. As for other elders and other Qiyun Sect disciples, you don't need to pay attention to them. I will deal with them."
Something has been explained.”
Tai Shuxiong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle, for your understanding."
Taishu Feihua: "What's going on with the Song embassy? Have you sent someone to get it?"
Tai Shuxiong shook his head and sighed, "Uncle, the other party acted cautiously and said those words about buying temple blessings are false and true. They can be proved internally and cannot be used as ironclad evidence to the outside world. And Jia Wuqun's words of instigating the mother and daughter can be justified and said to be good intentions.
, I can completely deny that I didn’t know that your court would make such a fuss. If it is really exposed, it will be a family scandal of your own court, and it will make the world laugh."
"Things between countries cannot be so happy. If we casually arrest members of the Song Dynasty mission, the Song Dynasty will immediately arrest the members of the Jin Dynasty mission and retaliate reciprocally. What's more, now
In frontline battles, we should try our best to avoid too much involvement of monks from the Song Dynasty, and it is not advisable to create extraneous matters. It will not be too late to find an opportunity to settle this account after the war has stabilized!"
Taishu Feihua nodded slightly, understood, and said humbly: "You are a person who knows what you are doing. I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. You can handle it yourself. You still have to approve memorials at night, and there are many state affairs to deal with, so don't
You've spent it with me, go back."
"Yes! If you have any orders, let me say hello. My nephew will leave first." Tai Shuxiong stepped back a few steps, then turned around and led Tao Lue away.
After the lakeside became a little clearer, Taishu Feihua waved his hand, and immediately some disciples came to obey his orders.
Taishu Feihua said slowly: "There is a battle on the front line. You can't be negligent! Keep an eye on those seven people and report any suspicious behavior immediately. Tell the patrol personnel above the capital. Before the truth of the Blackwater Tower case comes out, the seven people
All Golden Wings transmissions in the mansion will be intercepted!"
"Yes!" The disciple took the order and left.
After leaving the place where the monks were heavily guarded, Tai Shuxiong breathed a sigh of relief as he walked, facing the bright moon and said: "Our Lord Shao's actions were lightning-fast and decisive. What is the outcome of the matter? It should be done tomorrow morning."
It’s time to see the difference!”
Tao Lue smiled and said, "Yes! The adults finally learned a lesson."
Tai Shuxiong snorted coldly, "Based on the in-law relationship behind him, I thought that the lonely king couldn't do anything to them, so it's time to teach them a long lesson!"
As an emperor, he hates being forced into the palace by others, especially being forced into the palace by a group of people. To him personally, it is extremely disgusting!
Ahead is the gate to leave the palace. The seven ministers are walking under the night, all of them look ugly, especially Mr. Zhao Gongquan, who looks quite lost.
"Everyone, are you ready to leave the palace and go home?"
"What do you think, Mr. Gong?"
"Some things are done or not, others don't know. We all know it in our own hearts. We all know what His Majesty thinks. It's useless to say more. And that Master Shao is clearly seeking revenge and avenging private revenge! Whatever he wants to do, we all know
It’s clear, I’m afraid they are waiting for us to negotiate. Will you go or not?”
"I was careless, and the boat capsized in the gutter. What kind of place is the Black Prison? If I don't give him an explanation tonight, I don't know what will happen to my family, so we might as well go."
Several people looked at Zhao Gongquan, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and their hearts trembled, and they subconsciously accelerated the pace of leaving the palace.
…
There were so many people arrested at once that the interrogation room was somewhat insufficient, so some temporary cages were used as interrogation rooms.
Shao Pingbo stood outside a cage and watched a woman being interrogated shouting at the interrogators.
As if he couldn't stand it any longer, Shao Pingbo raised his hand and knocked on the iron fence. The person in charge of the interrogation looked back and quickly came out, cupping his hands and saying: "Sir!"
Shao Pingbo raised his chin inward, "Is the interrogation just about slapping the table and staring? Are these the interrogation methods used in the black prison?"
The visitor smiled bitterly: "Of course there are more than these methods in the black jail, and they have not even been used. However, the identities and backgrounds of these people are very important, and they dare not really use torture!"
"Well, this is the benefit of being a high official." Shao Pingbo nodded and asked again: "How is the temple blessing judged?"
The visitor said hehe, "You have also seen that he was stripped naked and searched first, and then tortured."
Shao Pingbo raised his chin towards the woman, "Then just follow the rules!"
"Ah..." The visitor looked back at the woman and said hurriedly: "Sir, isn't this appropriate? The other party is a woman?"
Shao Pingbo: "Some people are making a fuss about the innocence of the seventh princess. The people behind these people are in charge of every corner of the capital. If these people are not innocent, people in the capital will shut up. Do you understand?"
"This..." The visitor's eyes flickered, and he understood what he meant. He seemed to be interested in moving, but finally waved his hand and said: "Sir, to be honest with you, our ancestors gave an order. We can only scare these people, but we can't do it again."
It's chaos. I didn't expect you to kill Mr. Zhao before, and our ancestors are already very unhappy. But what do you mean... How about I inform our ancestors first and ask our ancestors to make a decision?"
"Since that's the case, let's forget it." Shao Pingbo dropped his words and turned around. He knew very well that once the matter was reported to Tao Lue, Tao Lue would never agree to do that to the female family members of a high official in the DPRK. The interrogators would not
If you dare to take action, you can only give up.
While still wandering in the prison corridor, someone suddenly announced that seven ministers from the court had arrived.
Shao Pingbo immediately went out to meet him.
When the two parties met outside the prison, they looked cold and did not say hello. Finally, Lord Gong spoke, "Master Shao, what do you want?"
Shao Pingbo looked up at the moonlight and said calmly: "The person who untied the bell must tie it! You know very well what I want. A group of women can't control their mouths. After tomorrow morning, if I don't see what I want,
I can’t guarantee whether anything will come out as a result of the trial!”
: Thanks to "Uncle Kang 01" for the silver reward.
